That is too kind an interpretation. This is the normal bureaucrats
way of leaving the impression they have told the truth while avoiding
the central issue being questioned. Their objective is obfuscation,
simply fogging people's perception without being caught telling an
explicit lie.
I don't know why there is so much whinging of late about spin doctors
at No.10; Whitehall mandarins and equivalent senior bureaucrats like
ACPO members have been shafting the general public and MPs since the
dawn of time using these economies with the truth (the whole truth
and nothing but truth - like hell).
Maybe its the civil servants that are complaining about the poor
quality of No.'s 10 spin doctors bringing the profession into
disrepute. Alistair Campbell could never match the incomparable Sir
Humphrey Appleby (?) in Yes (Prime) Minister.
